There has been a remarkable development regarding Facebook, one of the world’s largest social media platforms. The tag “#DeleteFacebook”, which means “delete Facebook”, has become one of the world trends. Users reacted to Facebook using this hashtag. So what happened, something like this happened. Let’s take a closer look at the events that happened together.
To be frank, the sequence of events is quite complex. Users believed that Facebook had shared messages belonging to one of its users with law enforcement, causing the abortion user to be exposed. According to the information in Bloomberg, which is said to have been received from the authorities, the event was very different. A 17-year-old woman living in the US state of Nebraska was accused of involvement in a series of illegal activities. Among the allegations were very serious incidents such as the unauthorized burial of a stillborn baby. The police asked Facebook for the message history to investigate all these, and Facebook gave it to them.
And an abortion got involved!
The reason people brought up the hashtag “#DeleteFacebook” was the abortion issue. It was widely believed that a user of Facebook shared messages with law enforcement officials showing that he had an abortion. However, in the statements made by Facebook, it was stated that abortion was not mentioned in the order sent to them. According to Facebook, the 17-year-old’s messages were requested because a baby was buried without permission. Moreover, this baby was cremated before it was buried.
Nebraska is one of the US states where abortion is not legal. As such, the 17-year-old girl became involved in another crime. Moreover, the identity of this girl was also disclosed (Webtekno did not share her name). Facebook says the messages belonging to the young girl are shared within the framework of the law. Abortion advocates, on the other hand, defend the idea that such a thing should not be done no matter what. It is unknown how the #DeleteFacebook hashtag will return to Facebook.
